Faith, 

What if you didn’t know? 

What if this next week was nothing more than “Santa got run over by a reindeer,” some good football, friends, family, and nothing more? 

No cosmic significance. 

No angels celebrating. 

No “God with us.” 

The ache you might feel right now is nothing compared to the ache in God’s heart for those who don’t know Him. He has done everything necessary. He’s given us His Son and filled us with His Holy Spirit. What’s our part? 

In one sense, it’s so simple! From cathedrals to basilicas, from mega-churches filled with thousands to country churches filled with 20, from underground churches to house churches to Faith Covenant Church-like churches, He’s called us to gather once again and tell the story. That’s our part! We will sing it, pray it, and proclaim it because “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). 

So, say a bold prayer, make a bold invite, and come and celebrate with us this Sunday and Christmas Eve at 2 and 4 PM. You’ll be a part of the global proclamation that changes our now and eternity. You’ll be a part of the greatest story ever told: “For unto us a Son is born, unto us a Son is given.”

Merry Christmas!

Pastor Brad
